Among traditional users of Web resources industry has also a growing set of smart industrial devices with embedded intelligence. As well as humans they need online services, e.g. for condition monitoring, remote diagnostics, maintenance, etc. In this paper we present one possible implementation framework for such Web services. Assumed that such services should be Semantic Web enabled and form a Service Network based on internal and external agents' platforms, which can host heterogeneous mobile

Concept of a "mobile service component" assumes not only exchanging queries and service responses but also delivering and composition of a service provider itself. Mobile service component carrier (agent) can move to a field device's local environment (embedded agent platform) and perform its activities locally. Service components improve their performance through online learning and communication with other components. Heterogeneous service components' discovery is based on semantic P2P search.
